The only possible point of being scared is to get yourself prepared and be on guard.
I have a friend who was mugged there and had his phone stolen, and have heard of rapes. But the friend I at least know was walking around at night alone.
It may be that nothing happens. It may be that something happens. I had most of the same fears when I lived down the street from a crack house in New Orleans.
I say, we choose what to be afraid of by how many goosebumps it gives us and the thrill that we get from telling other people. What the actual threat is and how we handle it is something different.

So, beware, be safe, and have fun!
